As per some sources, fans can live stream the fight on DAZN Boxing for $69.99. Meanwhile, there’s also been some chatter about unsold tickets for the fight. This, coupled with Garcia’s mental breakdown earlier this year, has convinced many fans that ‘King Ry’ will likely pull out of the fight. However, that’s not the end of it! After Haney’s tweet, fans came in droves to express their thoughts about the fight. 

Fan throws shade at unsold tickets!

With all the antics before the fight and Haney’s growing popularity, the tweet was an instant hit among fans. One user still doesn’t believe Garcia is willing to fight, claiming the Victorville native will likely fake an injury to avoid the fight all together. However, it’s worth mentioning that Garcia has put a lot of effort into making the fight happen, and he is also getting the larger purse split. 

Another user praised the undefeated boxer for being able to put his all into training while fasting for Ramadan. Notably, Haney had previously revealed that going forward he wouldn’t be taking any fights around Ramadan because it makes training difficult. 

Someone else seems to have put a wager on the Garcia-Haney fight, and seeing Haney’s new promotional montage, they are confident about winning the bet.
